Camera Setup
Avatour Pilot App
Our app for the Labpano Pilot One camera enables live capture and the ability to upload offline captures. If you did not purchase an Avatour kit, you will need to install the app manually. Visit this Knowledge Base article for steps to download and install our app.

Confirm Internet Connection
To successfully host a live capture in a meeting or upload offline capture assets, your Pilot One will need to be connected to the internet. To validate this, enter the Settings app from your camera’s home screen and select WiFi. Ensure “Open Wifi” is turned on and an available network has been selected. If your camera is unable to connect to a network, follow the troubleshooting steps in this Knowledge Base article.

Check Latest Pilot OS Version
Some issues may be resolved by updating the Pilot OS version on the camera. To do this, enter the Settings app from the home screen and select System Update. This screen will tell you if your OS version is up to date, or allow you to install the latest version.
Audio Setup
Audio for Live and Offline CaptureBy default, your camera will use its onboard microphone and speakers for live and offline capture audio.

To connect a Bluetooth audio device, your camera must be connected to the USB-C hub’s hardwired cable, either directly or with the retractable cable provided in your kit.

Visit this Knowledge Base article for an overview of recommended Bluetooth audio devices for Avatour meetings.
